battery not charging anymore

[Oleksa]

Hi all,
I've got a Smoktech eMax 1300mAh VV/VW Spinner which I have been using for a while. However
recently I put it to charge overnight and it has stopped charging. The green light on the charger is on
but the battery is dead. I tried to clean the contacts on the batter and on the charger itself, tried another
charger (I have two) but to no avail. Is there anything that can be done or my battery is gone?

If may be that your batteries center pin is not making a connection with the charger. Try this: Center Pin Issue - Fixing a non firing eGo battery

It is NOT uncommon for those dongle chargers to go bad I went through 3 of them in about 3 weeks and gave my friend my device later on and he went through 2 in a 2-3 weeks.

I've tried that and everything else (cleaning, scrubbing the pin) but alas, nothing worked. I guess I am gonna have to buy a new battery but I am wondering may be I should get a different model instead? Any recommendations?

you might try the "Vision" brand Spinner.. The Wifey has 3 of them...

Innokin itaste vv v3. Variable wattage, pass through charging (can vape while charging)....great little device. Or the innokin MVP 2. Same essential device, but much larger battery capacity.

It might be the charger also. Do you have anything else to test it with?

Like I said, those types of chargers go bad, it may not be your battery unless you went through about 300 full charging cycles already. If not go to a local vape shop and ask to have them try to test your battery with one of their chargers.

Maybe it's time to buy a new charger??

Spinner batteries, with the exception of the vision spinner 2, only last for 300 charges, give or take. So, if you've had it for a while that could be the culprit.

I have another, brand new, charger. So I am pretty certain the issue is with the battery.

That's what I've been considering too. Thanks for the advice!

Innokin itaste vv: I love these! Rugged and fits well to the hand, doesn't roll off of tables, good price, so I bought a few of them. The passthru has been a huge boon in my life. Hi, new here
